The Night That Minnie Timperley Died

"There's a light that shines on everything and everyone

And it shines so bright, brighter even than the sun"

That's what Minnie thinks as she walks to meet her brother

Who is nearly two years older on a Saturday night

He's DJing at some do on the edge of town

On the night that Minnie Timperley died

It's such a beautiful world

You're such a beautiful girl

So much that you want to try

The world wants to sleep with you tonight

But Minnie, Minnie if I could

I would give you the rest of my life

How can a girl have sex with these pathetic teenage wrecks?

Oh, football scarves, the girls drink halves

And her brother's crying 'cause he has lost his decks

Outside the air was cool, an older guy sitting in his car

Asked if Minnie needed a ride

He thought he was still dangerous, paunchy, but dangerous

On the night that Minnie Timperley died

It's such a beautiful world

You're such a beautiful girl

And he only did what he did

'Cause you looked like one of his kids

But Minnie, Minnie if I could

I would give you the rest of my life

Oh, Minnie I can feel the pain

Oh, Minnie I can feel the pain

Oh, Minnie I can feel the pain

The pain, the pain, the pain, pain, pain, yeah
